BKB: was it tough taking your compressor apart? I believe I may have the same problem as you. I just bought my SC, and the previous owner said that he hadn't drove the car much at all, he said it had been garaged for most of the last 2 years. My thought is that maybe I have the same deal, the oil draining out from all the sitting. So before I let the local Ford dealership tear it apart and give me a huge bill, I wonder if I should attempt what you did, just adding oil?
